What's cooking for Christmas.

Job #1. Every year we have a company clam bake. With the left overs I make stuffed clams. (aka Clams Casino). I freeze them. For our shop Christmas party I put them in the microwave. They go great with beer while we play poker.

Job #2. No matter what the weather I'll be out on the deck deep frying a turkey. I'm probably the only idiot in the State of Vermont standing out in the cold cooking a turkey on Christmas morning.

Job #3. On New Year's Eve we have another shop party. Every year I make my world fameous (and parts of Bennington) chili dogs. I get good dogs made by MacKensie and of course we only have New England hot dog rolls.

Job #4. New Years DAY we have a family reunion at our house. I'm doing a spiral ham. Also I make an dynomite antipasta salad that people seem to like.
Mary Lou does every thing else. Twice baked potatoes, Harvard beets and green bean caserol.

My kingdom for a Christmas dinner with some sour beef and dumplings and saurkraut cooked with pork. Never thought there could be food that would gag a Cajun but I found at least two...

(The wise men of modern thought) adore a god made of putty or of wax - plastic, effeminate, molluscous, with no masculine faculty about him, and no quality that entitles him to the respect of just and honest men, for a being who cannot be angry at wrongdoing is destitute of one of the essential virtues, and a moral Ruler who is not angry with the wicked, and who refuses to punish crime, is not divine. ---Spurgeon

Ila, what the freak is a Snikerdoole? Ihave even seen reference to them on the post office commercials. but they aren't popular around here. I never ate a Snikerdoole.l

Christmas day is a pot-luck gathering of 3 generations of folks... it moves from house to house each year. There are usually 3-4 entree's, at least half a dozen veggies, 3-4 salads, and at least 10 desserts... one year over a dozen...

The feast is usually enough food for twice the number of folks attending... so we all end up doing the holiday thing... eating too much.

Dinner is usually around 4-ish on Christmas day... so I always go for at least a mile walk afterwards to start the digestive process... AND... Always plan some work the next day to regain my shape...

There used to be a coffee shop in South Boston (Mass.) right next to the court house that sold different flavored coffees and fresh baked muffins, cakes, cookies, etc. I think the name was The Java House. Snickerdoodle coffe was one of my favorites. Good stuff.http://www.yelp.com/biz/java-house-boston
